British private schools are being bought by CCP linked Chinese firms with communist-approved lessons slipped into curriculum

Hundreds of independent schools left in dire financial straits by the coronavirus pandemic are being targeted by Chinese investors, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Experts anticipate a ‘feeding frenzy’ as firms, including some run by high-ranking members of the ruling Chinese Communist Party, seek to expand their influence over Britain’s education system.

Seventeen schools are already owned by Chinese companies, but that number is set to rocket. Amid rising concern about Beijing’s tentacles reaching into British classrooms, an investigation by this newspaper can reveal…

Wuhan Lab Kept NIH Funding Despite Trump Crackdown

Wuhan Lab Kept NIH Funding Despite Trump Crackdown

Chinese lab collected hundreds of thousands from U.S. taxpayers

Federal records show the U.S. government is partnering with the Wuhan Institute of Virology even though the Trump administration pledged to ban funding for the Chinese laboratory located at the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak.

President Donald Trump promised that he would “end” public funding for the Wuhan Institute of Virology during an April 17 press conference. Despite his promise, the National Institutes of Health has left untouched a 2019 neuroscience research grant that disbursed hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Chinese laboratory, according to a federal expenditure database. The NIH earmarked most of the $4.3 million grant to U.C. Irvine, which the California public university used to funnel $216,108 in taxpayer money to a Wuhan Institute of Virology researcher as a “sub-grant.”

The China class and its damage to America

In Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis wrote: “If there are rats in the cellar you are most likely to see them if you go in very suddenly… The rats are always there in the cellar, but if you go in shouting and noisily they will have taken cover before you switch on the light.” In this regard, Donald Trump was the surprise light that exposed the rats gnawing away at America’s foundations since at least the 1980s.

As Trump Predicted, Under Biden China Owns the United States

As Trump Predicted, Under Biden China Owns the United States

On February 11, Joe Biden announced sanctions on Burma for a recent coup in that nation, also known as Myanmar. “The military must relinquish power they’ve seized and demonstrate respect for the will of the people of Burma as expressed in their November 8 election,” Biden said. For the current occupant of the White House, first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972, that was something of a departure.

Beijing Wants to Sway US Policy Using Climate Change, Experts Warn

Beijing Wants to Sway US Policy Using Climate Change, Experts Warn

The Biden administration should not allow the Chinese regime to use climate change as a bargaining chip to extract concessions in other areas, according to China experts.

The warning comes as the United States formally rejoined the Paris agreement on Feb. 19. President Joe Biden has described climate change as an “existential threat” and vowed to do more to reduce carbon emissions. But analysts are concerned that this may lead the United States to become cozier with the Chinese regime.

Gurski: If the head of a spy agency speaks publicly, shouldn’t we listen?

The heads of security intelligence agencies seldom open up. When they do, it is a sign to pay attention.

Canadians witnessed a very rare event recently. The director of CSIS, David Vigneault, gave a speech – virtually, of course – to the Centre for International Governance Innovation in Ottawa. In this all too infrequent occurrence, he talked about what keeps him up at night as the head of Canada’s premier spy agency.

Guards Gang Rape Religious Minorities In China’s Concentration Camps, Former Detainees Allege

Guards Gang Rape Religious Minorities In China’s Concentration Camps, Former Detainees Allege

Reports have recently surfaced of violent gang rape against religious minorities detained in Chinese concentration camps in Xinjiang.

Qelbinur Sidik, who was forced to teach inside the camps, made the allegations in an interview published by CNN this week. CNN’s report relied solely on the accounts of alleged witnesses.

Is China heading for global empire or Soviet collapse?

“China has no real property rights, which, combined with severe environmental degradation, means that land is badly misused and does not generate significant economic growth. Moreover, because of the one-child policy, China will soon face a labour shortage that will worsen over time. The CCP also confronts enormous social costs related to its ageing population and the need to provide a social safety net. Inefficient state-owned enterprise and politically motivated state banks dominate the economy. Thus, unsurprisingly, capital is badly misallocated.”

Long read, worth a look. I lean to collapse.

Why did we all copy China?

In the UK a line was crossed when we enforced the first lockdown.

History attests that the defeat of a civilisation involves not only its political eclipse, but also the collapse of its values. The relationship between the two varies significantly. Sometimes, a defeated people are forced to adopt their conqueror’s beliefs; hence survivors of the American conquests were assimilated into white culture, to ‘kill the Indian and save the man’. At other times, a lack of conviction creates inner weakness, until, as in Rome, the barbarians have only to shove on the rotten gates to induce their collapse.

Trudeau said Canada committed genocide. Why won’t he say the same of China?

Trudeau said Canada committed genocide. Why won’t he say the same of China?

Back in 2018, amid continuing diplomatic tensions between Canada and Saudi Arabia, Saudi television and social media lit up with accusations about human-rights abuses in Canada. One commentator on Saudi TV called Canada one of the worst oppressors of women in the world. Social media accounts tweeted identical lines about missing women and about Canada committing “cultural genocide” against Indigenous peoples. These were rich accusations coming from a country where women were stoned to death for adultery and sought permission for everyday activities from male guardians, and Canada at the time largely paid no heed.

Less than one year later, however, Ottawa inadvertently validated all of these Saudi claims – and then some.

China Targets America’s Rare Earth Vulnerability

WASHINGTON—China is reportedly looking into curbing the export of rare-earth minerals to the United States, which may become a new source of friction between the two countries.

China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in January proposed draft controls on the production and export of rare-earth minerals and provided 30 days for public comment.

GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau said he admired China’s dictatorship — believe him!

 

There should be no surprise Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he needs more evidence before concluding China’s horrific treatment of its minority Uyghur Muslim population is a genocide, despite having agreed two years ago that Canada’s treatment of its Indigenous population was a genocide.

As Maya Angelou famously put it: “When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.”

It runs much deeper than the idiot within the Liberal Party.

Senior Liberal MP urges Trudeau cabinet to ‘wake up and smell the roses’ on China

Senior Liberal MP urges Trudeau cabinet to ‘wake up and smell the roses’ on China

The Liberal chair of the Commons finance committee says a budget recommendation calling on Ottawa to pull out of the Beijing-backed Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank should serve as a “wake up and smell the roses” moment for Canada.

Liberal MP Wayne Easter, who also served as solicitor-general under Jean Chrétien in charge of Canada’s security agencies, told The Globe and Mail Tuesday that Canada needs to recognize the serious threat China poses to western democracies. He also criticized the fact that universities are still conducting research projects with Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd.

The finance committee in a report Tuesday made the recommendation to withdraw from the AIIB, which the Trudeau government joined in 2017, with plans to contribute US$995-million.

It should be all MP’s period. The China class is well embedded in our political class.

Why China is terrified of Christianity

From destroying churches to jailing priests, the Communist Party is bent on eliminating religion

Religious freedom in China is facing the most severe crackdown since the Cultural Revolution — and most people don’t even realise. Yes, in the past year, the plight of the predominantly Muslim Uighurs has drawn increasing attention. At least a million, perhaps as many as three million, have been incarcerated in prison camps, where they face systematic torture, rape, slave labour and forced sterilisation. Likewise, the continued persecution of Falun Gong, a Chinese spiritual discipline in the Buddhist tradition, has inspired worldwide condemnation.

Trudeau refuses to call Chinese actions genocide

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada must make sure “all the I’s are dotted and the T’s are crossed” before citing China for genocide.

“The primary concern we have as a government that has always been responsible about using this extremely loaded term is not applying it to things that don’t meet the very clear, internationally-recognized criteria around genocide,” said Trudeau at a press conference.
